I am having the same problem. And getting very frustrated as well.
Was redirecting in "Test" mode, then when I set it to "Live" it will not redirect.
I have had many problems with xcart 5, and even had to uninstall and re-install the whole thing since it once crashed and there was NO bringing it back
Xcart team, need some help here!

Hey Xanadude, I went to your site and it is redirecting to Paypal just fine. How did you get it to work?

I used the deprecated version fro non USA not the new version as the new one did not work

I'd like to bump this thread...

The deprecated version works fine... but doesn't allow Advanced Payments to keep the buyer on my site.

The new version doesn't work for crap.

Hi guys!

Once you receive the error message from new Paypal module, more details about it must be dumped into the <X-Cart>/var/log/ folder into file with Paypal.log.dd-mm-yy.php name

Could you please publish this error log? There will be an explanation of why the problem happened and I will be able to suggest what to do next.

Tony.

I'm having the same problem, i'm happy to post the log but it seems to contain a good bit of personal info, any section in particular that's needed?

Hi!

Do you receive this error message when you go live with Paypal? And I expect that if you use it in test mode, Paypal Express Checkout works properly.

If so, please try to apply the following change. Replace the

Code:

protected $apiLiveURL = 'https://api-3t.paypal.com/2.0';

line with the following one:

Code:

protected $apiLiveURL = 'https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp';

in the classes/XLite/Module/CDev/Paypal/Model/Payment/Processor/ExpressCheckoutMerchantAPI.php file.

Then, you should re-deploy the store and test your Express Checkout again.

Please, let me know if it works out.

Tony.
